If any non-admins could post here and let me know if you're having slow loads on either the activity page or anyone's user profile, let me know. I'm trying to narrow down who is experiencing this issue, but so far, only forum admins have mentioned experiencing it.

Well guys, I hate to say it, but I still have no updates for the slow loading issue. IPS support hasn't been particularly helpful in this instance, for some reason they are unable to observe the issue, and search efforts haven't gone very well.

Otherwise, everything else is taken care of for the time being. Domain transfer was successful, everything is set up properly on the new server, at this point, I'll continue to take bug reports, but don't bother letting me know about the slow loads for activity/user pages, I'm well aware of it and am still trying to get on top of it.

The problem *may* be fixed now, as a result of the above changes. If you guys could let me know if you're still having problems visiting profiles, viewing the activity page, or otherwise, that would be great.

The activity page and user profiles actually load in a timely manner when I put the server databases on a VPS. This is a service that costs $15 per month, which is more than the cost of the hosting itself.

I'm going to see about looking into alternate solutions, because this is not a sustainable expense long term.

Say, Zee. Have you found a way to fix posts involving ;amp; (which is the symbol of &). Every time I edit a post with C&C in it, the "&" symbol was changed to ;amp;. Any unedited changes to a post adds another ;amp; to the "&" symbol.

This goes beyond the template issues. The ability to add reputation to posts has been inexplicably removed, the layout of the template has changed, images are suddenly missing, etc. It's going to take some time to work the problem.

The boards are still slow for me. Not awful, but slower than it should be. How is cache and session data stored? Move it off file structure and put it into memcache/Redis. Make sure you're automatically serving gzipped content... all that good shit. Shouldn't take 20 seconds to load the activity panel...

Already on memcache, not sure where to find the setting to serve gzipped content. Testing the idea of archiving all posts which have not been replied to in over a year, we'll see how that goes. (For those who are nervous, it just means they're locked, and should load faster, you'll still be able to see the post)
